'There were several women and children among .' • -I,veguita.—Thiit Theatre was again crowded last night at the representa,tion of t':e Doenna, and the farce of Fortune's Frolic. he Opera went off with its ,usual cCictes's".

The Committee of Gentlemen who have so berally Conssented. to devote their. tiine to an * in of the accounts of Covent-Garden Theatre, 'are the Governor of the Baiik 'of England, the Re+ corder of the City of London, the Solicitor-General, an d Mr. .iVigerstein. It is impossible to select four" individua better qualified for the tasls, or from whom 4.more -fair and iicinuurabie.decision could be oxpeeted. The Proprietors of the Theatre have avowed their determination to 'Aide by the jtidg 7 'tient of ihese'Genflenien; and it'is not possible for .a moment to suppose that the public at large will not . nickst 'readily, do the same. - If, therefore, any Attempt should be .made to counterad the determi nation of these Gentlemen,' whatever it May be, I:ve trust that the people of this country are too just and too generous to suffer any private fattion to controul their judgment, and that they, will resolutely support, the decision of a tribunal whose competence and nour are wholly unquestionable. The Proprietors of Covent-Garden "Theatre, now that the: engagement which excited so much dis pleasure in the public is at an end, cannot do better than to bring Mrs. BILLINGTON forward on the first night "of re-upening. It is but Justice to them to acknowledge that they endeavoured to retain her services betore they\ signed articles with CATALANI, but she dedined their Offsets. But - after a I the con fusibn and uproar which ha,s taken place on the score of " native'talents,". we have little doubt that, Mrs. Etr.t.lNo-roN would come forward to still the storm in favour of a Manager who first introduced her to the people of this country, and to gratify a public, who manife,ted sitch zeal in her favour dur ing all the recent disturbances. The amount of Mr. KEMBLE'S salary at Covent- Garden Theatre has been much misrepresented; but the following _may be relied on as a correct state-. :rent : Jione with the /cVbat , talion of the 14th, and some Of the King'S'Gerinan Riflemen, 'attached to them, were to drive in those in front of the.kft - of the position, and who were posted behind hedges, wet ditches, ancla breast-worlc they had formed , out of the ruins of an old guard house ; and those of the enenTon oueright, posted on the sand hills and pits in front of the Royals advanced posts, and who were supported by a con siderable cori/ t under-the command Ora - Lie tenant- Colonel, posted behind the lanl 7 Side of tfib dyke, and in three entrenchinents they had lately cut across the green ; part of the dyke, close to ; and under the fire of the plaCe, 'v,vhere !hey , also two field pieces, were at the same instant to be chafgs+by that Part of;the Royals who were at the advanced post, and siippOiled by the othvr 'companies who were posted oft the dyke, where the tiatte No. 1, under thei col intafal of Lieutenant-Colonel Wood,. • and Captain Nye,bber Suith,: of the Royal Artillery,. were.

" A few minutes before the attach commenced ColoneL -Hay sent to inform Lieutenant.
